It's not "kinda annoying", it's extremely annoying. It makes it very
hard for people to just ask a question to the list -- they have to
subscribe, ask the question, wait for the answers, and then
unsubscribe. I had to do that several times over for various Redhat
lists, and it was really tedious.
Then you have the problem of discussions from the list cross-posted to
knowledgable people elsewhere. With the restricted-post setting,
those people cannot respond to the list.

Please don't do that. That "solution" blocks at least two kind of
legitimate mails.
